I lost a pan 😬 (which no one missed because there were about 100 left over). I helped out with a neighbor’s daughter’s wedding last night. I made 260 peppermint cheesecakes. The reception was at the same place our reception was at. A fun trip down memory lane.

Brian and I have been so busy these last two weeks preparing for Christmas.

The last few days I have been cooking and cleaning preparing for our Christmas Eve feast. I’m making a traditional thanksgiving meal. Yesterday, I made an apple sage sausage stuffing (ready for the oven)

Today I made rolls (in the freezer until I’m ready to bake in Thursday) the rolls turned out amazing then I put my naked turkey in her brine and cleaned out my fridge. This is my first time doing a brine. My friend swears by it. So we’ll see.

(Photo- Martha Stewart) the actual bird looks a lot less glamorous in my garage.
Christmas Eve day I’ll pick up Shelley from the airport and do mashed potatoes, gravy, pop the turkey in and make a salad – not in that order.

Oh. And Brian if your reading this. This meal is part of your Christmas presents. ❤️😘 get ready for leftovers.

I took two little girls I for their check ups and shots. Poor Molly started to cry as soon as we pulled into the parking lot. “No doctor mom” said Molly. But she was brave and a big helper when it came time to listen to Kate’s heartbeat and fetching sucker after sucker. Molly got two shots and Kate got 4!!!
